This is to be my weekend projects for when I am bored.
This is likely to be typed on an iPad so I will more than likely have to go back over it and fix any stupid mistakes or auto corrections.
This contains spoilers for bioshock 1 and maybe bioshock 2 if I feel like including anything from bioshock 2.
This takes place at the beginning of the proving grounds.
There may be some things that don't actually happen or do not exist in the bioshock world but many of those things are either plot driving items.
No knowledge of bioshock is necessary but a small amount could help.
Anyways I think it is time to begin.

Jack:

I looked at how far I had come, how many people I had killed to get to this point in time, what I had sacrificed, the pain I had gone through. Was it worth it ... You bet, those weren't people they were monsters, I had sacrificed much but I had gained more, the pain I had gone through ... Well there is no denying that, but still I would do it all again to get to this point.

I took the green army backpack off and placed it on the floor I opened it to find that I was low on supplies, luckily the room I was in was filled with ammo med-kits and eve hypos. I continued to fill my bag with the supplies, the bag itself was a green army bag it had a camouflage pattern and was almost as big as I was, it was a pain to lug about but I needed it if I wanted to carry my things with me. After I had filled it with all the supplies I still had enough room for a bouncers drill, not that I had one ... Maybe I should look into getting one.

I turned around to look at the last desk to find a teddy bear I heard the sound of small feet running away, Ahh Tenenbaum where would I be without your gifts, hmm a note as well.

"Jack I can only ask that when you destroy Fontaine you will give the little ones a life on the surface, Do what I cannot and look after them. The plasmid I have given to you is untested and might be very volatile I would suggest testing out in this room before going to face Fontaine. It is a teleportation plasmid, I wish you the best of luck. Tenenbaum"

I picked up the bottle of liquid and walked over to the gene bank, this plasmid was different the other ones had a certain colour, electro bolt was blue and incinerate was orange, why is this one flashing different colours?

Whatever, I turned the gene bank on and looked at the screen, in the combat tonic slots I have ... Armoured shell 2, electric flesh 2, frozen field 2, human inferno 2, Static discharge 2 and wrench lurker 2. That's a lot of two's, I only have a few engineering tonics, i mean hacking is super easy anyway so what's the point I only bothered to use clever inventor, prolific inventor, safecracker 2 and security expert 2.
My physical tonics is where it is at, bloodlust, sports boost 2, extra nutrition 3, eve saver, medical expert 3 and natural camouflage.

Now I have 7 plasmids, electro bolt, incinerate, sonic boom, telekinesis, cyclone trap, target dummy and this teleportation plasmid.

Well I guess I better try this thing out then, as I turned to pick up my bag I noticed it was shut, I can't remember shutting that, oh well as I pick It up I realise how much heavier it is now that it's full of supplies, this feels so much heavier, Jesus how much stuff did I put I here.

I walk over to a clear part of the room and start to use the teleportation plasmid, it was at that moment I noticed a shadow on the floor it was that of a drill. This had happened only once before and I knew how it ended. I felt the pain in the back of my head them darkness, after a couple of minutes I look up to see the glass in front of my face, I had died again, at least the big daddy won't be after me anymore, wrong dead wrong.

The big daddy charged towards the glass, the only way I could think of to get out of here was my newest plasmid, I started to use the plasmid, it seemed to have to charge up before I can use it, the big daddy was only ten feet away, five, one then nothing, just before everything disappeared I saw the drill come into contact with the glass cracking it, I'm sure that if I hasps stayed for any longer the drill would have joined me inside here.

I was gone but no pain so he didn't manage to hit me all I could see was the vita chamber, the area outside the glass was a deep black, it was thick and foreboding as if it was a liquid.
Wonder where I will teleport to? Hopefully not too far away I don't want to walk all the way across rapture ... Again.

I woke up on a cold hard floor and I heard small feet running away again, as far as I knew I might have only travelled into the next room, I opened my eyes, of course not. I looked up and saw something I thought I would never see again ... The sky. I looked at my hand to notice that it seemed less, err how do I say this, real? The buildings I woke up in-between where less real as well, almost cartoon like at the end of the alleyway I saw my bag, it opened itself and a small child crawled out, it was a little sister, seems she decided to hide in my bag.

Two horses turned the corner or at least what I would call horses maybe they were ponies because of their height ... Whatever who cares what these two are, I need to figure out where I am. The two ponies, I had decided that they were ponies, looked at the small girl. She was running towards them, typical the small girl likes ponies, I stood up and made my way to the young child, I had to make sure she didn't get kicked by accident.

The ponies themselves where grey one had a bandana mark on its side, this must be the owners mark, I had grown up on a farm and I had to mark the new horses. The other had a mask; it was like a highwayman mask.

What I hadn't noticed was that the one with the mask had a horn on its head, I wasn't a library guy so I had no idea what it was, is horn started to glow and the little sister floated towards him, she obviously didn't like to be picked up in this manner and so promptly started to cry.

"Hey whatcha think this is Sly?"

"Ay doesn’t know do ay?"

So these ponies could talk, I had seen some weird things on my trip through rapture but this took the cake. "You let her go!" the one named Sly turned round, although he looked shocked I had to give it to him he didn't seem to care that much.

"How much is it worth to ya?"

Sigh I've only been here five god damn minutes and already I'm fighting something.
"is it worth your life's?

Sly started laughing and from behind him he pulled a miniature wrench, it was proportioned to the smaller pony not like mine which was twice as big, talking of my wrench, i unclipped it from my belt and got my plasmid ready just in case this turned nasty, as Sly ran towards me I put a cyclone trap on the wall and just watched as Jimmy ran straight into it. Being such a thin alleyway sly hit strait into the other side of the wall and collapsed.

I looked over at the other pony to see him drop the little sister and high-tail it out of the alleyway, the young girl ran over to me and grappled my leg. She was still crying just not as much now, she was only about 3 foot tall if I had to guess she would be about 4 years old maybe, I walked over to my bag and picked it up again it was lot lighter without her in it.

As I ushered her back into the bag and closed the top of it I could now hear her inside the bag she sounded a lot happier now. I heard the sound of many hoof steps it sounded like a stampede, I knew not to stick a about that pony probably went and got a few buddies to come and help him.

I turned round and ran at full speed, I could run surprisingly fast with the tonics I had equipped. I turned round a corner and stood completely still, I slowly faded into the brick wall as all the ponies ran past, I found it surprising how many of them wore armour it was a mixture of gold and white plating, it was nothing compared to the big daddy armour that I had stowed away in my bag.

Celestia:

I saw guard running through the throne room As he neared me I could see the worry on his face.

"Your highness, your highness!"

"What is the matter?"

"A pony has been attacked by some sort of creature in the city, apparently it is massive and can use magic!"

"Hmm bring him to me, and do not try to hurt him he might be too strong, if you can't apprehend him in a non-violent manner come and get me."

"Yes princess, right away"

I sighed, why could no-one call me Celestia, I wonder what this creature is and how it got into Canterlot without me knowing. It must be very strong, thinking about that makes me shiver, I can sense him now that I try, he is in the downtown district near Pony Joe's doughnut shop, wait he is on the move, wait ... Where did he go? How did he get to the outskirts of Ponyville? Thats it I'm going after him myself.

Jack:
I was outside what looked to be a doughnut shop, as long as I stood still I couldn't be seen, I could feel a sneeze brewing ... "achooo!!!" That had done it a flying pony had seen me, I turned round and ran for a small wall on the other of the courtyard I was stood in as I vaulted over the wall, I looked round to see that the pony wasn't chasing me, I wondered why but as always sudden realisation came to me and instilled horror, the floor on the other side of the wall didn't exist it was a cliff face and I fell, the ground rushing up to meet me.

"This one is gonna hurt" he hit the ground and felt nothing.

Jack:

Well when I said I felt nothing, what I meant to say was I felt nothing except the cold glass against my face. Well at least there is a vita chamber here, I noticed the crack in the glass. Ahh i wondered where this had got to. I opened it up and stepped outside, the chamber was located in some sort of cave. I opened my bag up and inspected the young girl, she seemed to be one of the girls that I have saved before.

"Hey there, you gotta name?" she merely shook her head. "you want me to give you one?"

"Yes please" her voice was quiet, she was scared.

"How bout Suzy? You like that name?" a shake of the head answers my question.
"Err do you like Jass?" a giggle was the answer he wanted; it was his real mothers name after all.

"Thank you Uncle Jack" Uncle Jack? What's that about?

He looked at the screen on the vita chamber, I have administrator access because of my genetic code being so similar to Andrew's, and all I have to do is. I pluck a hair from Jess' head, she noticed I had done it but didn't seem to mind. I programmed her genetic code into the vita-chamber, "now if you get hurt you will end up back here ok?"

"Hehe yeah" she seemed awfully giggly, Well for a girl who had been through so much.

"Now if you end up here, you must stay in this cave until I come get you, understand?" she went back to nodding her head and jumping up and down, she seemed to like bouncing about.

"Well then let's get going, if you see a pony let me know, ok?" she nodded her head again. "Don’t talk much do you" a shake of the head was the answer; I ruffled her hair and picked up my bag.

When we emerged from the cave Jess was attached to my arm, she has become attached to me all of a sudden. We were in some kind of forest area, we must be close to the edge because the trees are quite small here, we started to walk towards the thinner trees and soon we saw the edge of the forest. Jass ran towards the edge of the forest, when she reached the edge she was enveloped by a golden glow and lifted off the ground.

"Daddy!" I ran out of the forest and saw what was holding Jass

Celestia:

As I flew towards Ponyville the creature turned out to be moving through the Everfree forest and towards Ponyville, maybe I should wait by the edge where it will come out. I waited on top of a tree waiting for the creature to come out. I saw it ... It was only a few feet high and it seemed to be very young, I'll use my magic to lift it up and get a better look.
As I started to lift it up it screamed.

It can speak our language and it has a father?! A bolt of lightning went past my head I dropped the child and brought up a shield, now where did that come from. A bigger version of the child was running back into the forest, the child under his arm; I assume it's a him she did ask for her daddy.

Before the creature got into the forest I brought up some walls around him blocking him in.

Jack:

The yellow wall in front of me seemed to be indestructible, I looked up at the top of the wall it was only nine feet tall. I can jump that, as I placed a cyclone trap on the ground and jumped into it launching myself up a roof appeared ... Oh dear, I hit it and the pain I expected to feel didn't happen the roof had stretched and he was floating about a foot off the ground.

"Why did you attack him?" of course this one could talk as well, she had some kind of plasmid abilities that created walls, I will have to look into that.

"Who do you mean? That grey pony?" of course him who else have I attacked?

"Yes him, he is lucky to be alive. But why attack him" oh so she had been fed a pack of lies about me.

"He attacked Jass, and I defended her." I pointed at Jass as I said this; she was cowering from the huge pony.

"Wait he attacked you first?" she seemed angry at this, whether at me or that other pony is unsure. "Is that why you attacked me? To protect her"

"yes, I'm sorry I thought you would hurt her" I stopped thinking of anyway to escape; if she was going to kill me she would have done so by now. Not that it would have had any long lasting effects.

"Why would you think that I would hurt her?" she seemed genuinely confused.

"Apart from the fact that your kind has already tried" she winced at this, it was a good point "I have been in a place recently where this young one would be killed without a second thought" she was horrified at this.

She dropped the shield and walked closer, I almost had to pick Jass up to stop her from running away. She looked deeply into my eyes and just looked sad as though she could see my past, I sure hope she can't.

Celestia:

What has this one been through his eyes are bleak and dark almost all hope is gone; only one sparkle of hope is left. That must be his daughter the last thing he has to his name, when I get back to the castle those two ponies are going straight to the dungeon.

"What is your name friend?" he seemed confused at this, I wonder why?

"You would call me friend after all I have done?" that must be it, where he came from he was alone, I must remember to ask him about it sometime.

"Yes I would you were merely protecting that which is close to your heart"

"My name is Jack and this little one" he was pointing at the small girl her clothes where grimy and rancid. "Is called Jass, may I ask your name?"

"My name is princess Celestia and I rule this land with my sister Princess Luna ... Where did you go" Jack had disappeared he had merely fizzled away; he took a step forward and reappeared.

"Oh sorry if I stand still for too long I will become almost invisible" ok Jack seems to have many tricks up his sleeves; I will have to get someone to keep an eye on him. Maybe Twilight will keep an eye on him and keep him in order.

"hmm ok follow me, you can keep up can't you?" she doubted that he could but knowing what he could do so far, well let's just say it was possible.

"Yes I can keep up just give me a minute to get ready." I looked over to see what it was that he was doing, from what I could see he was just talking to Jass and then she did the most peculiar thing she jumped into his saddlebag. "Ok I'm ready now, lead on"

"err ok then" I took off and flew in the direction of Ponyville; I was flying slowly so that he could keep up with me. I looked down and saw him jogging to keep up, hmm time to put him to the test. I started to speed up until I was going at full speed, he was still keeping up!

Jack:

She was testing me; she wants to see how fast I can run. Well then let's show her how fast I can go then, I ran as fast as I could and I soon overtook her and was speeding away. I looked back and slowed down on the outskirts of town, it might not be best to go into town on my own the princess accompanying me might have a better outcome than me on my own.

The princess had finally caught up. As I sat on ground I was playing with Jess it was a game of catch but we were using a small rock, Celestia came over to us. "Wow you are really fast, are all of your species this fast?" we stood up and started to walk through town.

"no only me as far as I know, the place I came from was a scientific marvel, we modified our bodies to the point where most of us went insane." this last statement made Celestia's jaw drop, I realised I might have said the wrong thing, "but not me I'm fine"

"ok two things, one could you please make sure the stories of your home are at least slightly less horrifying please, and two you will tell me the whole story of your home later, ok?"

"Err yes Celestia" why was I getting the feeling that Celestia didn't like me.

"Ok, now you will be staying with my number one student, Twilight Sparkle." ok that's a strange name, but anyways.

"Anything else I need to know?" she looked directly at me.

"Well two things one we are at our destination and two do not hurt any pony or you will have me to answer to."

"You know the reason I will have if I do attack someone." Celestia looked at me as though I was insane.

*sigh* "alright, alright just try not to kill anything, but remember if you hurt someone for no reason then you will be in the dungeons. Understand?"

"Yes Celestia, oh and thanks for everything."

"Thank you Celes ... Celles ... Celly" I looked at Jass it was a good attempt at Celestia's name, Celestia looked happy.

I leant past and knocked on the door, what I hadn't realised until now was that it was a giant tree with windows. It was one giant ... Tree house, I sniggered.

"What is it" Celestia was confused.

"It’s just that this is a giant tree house"

"what's a tree." Jass was tugging on my trouser leg. The front door opened at that point.

"how can you not know what a tree I...." the purple pony stopped mid-sentence.

"hello Twilight, it's good to see you, may we come in?" Celestia seemed to calm Twilight down just through her presence.

"Why yes of course, come right in." I let Celestia go first, Jass seemed to not want to go in, she looked up at me arms outstretched so I picked her up and cradled her like I would a baby.

"This is a nice place you have Twilight, I'm Jack and this is Jass" she seemed nervous around me, but she overcame that quite quickly.

"Well hi Jack" she looked up at Jass "and hello to you to" Jass seemed to be scared of Twilight as all she did was dig her head into my chest.

"Sorry she is really shy at the moment." I looked at her expecting her to be insulted but I just saw understanding in her eyes she didn't seemed bothered at all.

"Well now that all of the introductions are over with I will get going." Celestia made her way towards the door.

"Wait what is it that you wanted Celestia?" Celestia turned round and looked directly at Twilight.

"I need you to give these two a home, these two were dumped here from their world they have nothing. I could also do with you watching over him, he is not all that he appears. Anyway I must get going I have two lying ponies to deal with." With that she took off and flew away.

"Err ok then Jack, do you want me to show you to your room?"

"that would be most kind of you thanks." she slowly turned round and walked up the stairs towards the third floor of the house, as I looked into the open door of each room we passed I saw many different rooms. A study, a bathroom, a bedroom probably Twilight's and then we reached my room.

It was no different to the other rooms I had past it was the same colour of the tree and had a wooden table and chairs in the centre of the room a bed off to one side it was big enough for two people. Next to the bed was a bookshelf, it was empty at the moment and in the far corner was the window underneath the window was a chest of sorts, It was a big room.

"thank you Twilight, we are most grateful aren't we" I said this while nudging Jass, ever since we have met twilight she has hidden away from Twilight, she only nodded her head still not removing it from my chest.

"Oh you are welcome" Twilight had a grin on her face. "Now I don't suppose you have any weapons on you, do you?"

"Err yes I do, and I suppose you want them" Twilight nodded her head at this point; I put Jass down on the bed and put my bag next to her. She instantly ran and grappled my leg "Jass twilight won’t hurt you, she is very nice" I noticed Jass look round my leg towards Twilight and quickly pop her head back. I got back to the job at hand I put my pistol, tommy gun, shotgun, rocket launcher and my crossbow on the bed next to the bag. I did own a chemical thrower at one point but it was pretty useless at the best of times so I threw it away.

"I don't know what these do, but it looks like quiet the armament you have there." she look at all the weapons. “Can you make sure they're safe to handle." I then disarmed all my weapons and handed them over to Twilight. "What about your wrench?"

"Uhh I'm keeping that one." Twilight looked like she was about to object "if anything happened to this one and I had no way to protect her, I would never forgive myself"

Twilight looked at me and I could tell she understood completely, "ok then, you can keep that one just don't make me regret it."

"I won't, now if you excuse me; this little one and we need to have a bath, don’t we?" Jass giggled and jumped up and down at my feet, arms outstretched, I picked her up and walked to the second floor bathroom. As I started to run the bath I asked twilight whether we had any towels, she soon directed me to their location.

Once the bath was half full I got Jass undressed and put her in the bath, she squirmed at first clearly unused to the idea behind a bath. She soon calmed down enough that I could wash her, I looked back at her clothes they were dirty and ragged. "Maybe I should get you some new clothes, what do ya say?"

"yes please uncle Jack" after I had washed her I had no choice but to put her back in her dirty clothes, still she looked all the better for taking a bath. Jass tugged on my sleeve, i wondered what it was she could want. "I'm hungry Uncle Jack" of course we hadn't eaten anything since we got here.

"well go ask Twilight for something to eat, I'm sure she has some apples or something you can eat." I watched her run out of the room and down the stairs. Amazing all it took was an empty belly to get her to open up, I got into the bath and begun to wash myself. Once that was done I got out of the bath and wrapped a towel round my midsection, I didn't want to scare Twilight now do I?

Right so that's part 1, things to point out I can't do Applejacks accent so just use your imagination. I saw there was a lack of Bioshock crossover so I thought why not and three this will only be written at weekends so depending on what happens at the weekend’s depends on how much gets done!
